Answer 1

Question 22)

Answer: True

Explanation: Homo neanderthalis have long, low skull( compared to more globular skull of modern humans) with a characteristic prominent brow ridge above their eyes.

Question 32)

Answer: Acclimatization

Explanation: Acclimatization is the process in which individual organism adjusts to change in the environment ( such as a change in altitude, temperature, humidity, pH) allowing it to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions.

Plasticity is usually thought to be evolutionary adaptation to environmental variation that is reasonably predictable and occurs within the life span of an individual organism, as It allows individuals to fit their phenotype in different environments.

Evolution is change in heritable characteristics of biological population over successive generations.
